I first learned about abortion when I was 11 as an audience member at Actors Theatre of Louisville. I can vividly recall the serious mood of the scene, the old-timey costumes, and the bluish light on the stage. Here’s the story as I remember it:
I just read an article in slate that cited an abortion "potion" as you say by Benjamin Franklin. It was very enlightening to see that abortion has been part of our American history before we were a nation. Thank you for this piece. I completely agree. I first learned about abortion in the seventh grade at my Catholic School. It was disturbing pictures of dismembered fetuses and one-sided horror stories. It took me a long time to undue that brainwashing.
